Elfnote Deck #770336 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 63/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro/Link-enabled Elfnote boards (June Pride, Seraphim Strelitzia, Baronne de Fleur) that restrict or attack through the center Main Monster Zone and present 3000+ ATK; Yummy Link/Synchro pressure via Snatchy, Cupsy/Cooky/Lollipo Way and Yummy Field Spell value
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a 3-copy Elfnote starter (Lucina, Tinia or Regina, about 0.34 per copy-group in a 5-card hand) or a searcher, convert into a center-zone Synchro, and hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence or Ghost Ogre for the opponent's first interaction (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's ~95% chance of at least one hand trap to answer the opponent's first board, then Synchro through the center zone (Inferred)
• Recovery: Re-summon Elfnote monsters from the GY via Elfnotes: Welcome Home, Rhapsodia and Elfnote Fortuna recursion text, and Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw effects (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck in Master Duel (side_count 0); the deck's answer to a changed meta is main-deck swaps only (Inferred)

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system: the Elfnote engine has three 3-copy starters and 0.82 probability of a searcher in a 5-card hand, so the engine usually goes live on turns 1 and 2. Fifteen hand traps and Ash Blossom plus Infinite Impermanence give the deck a high chance of answering the opponent's first play when going second, and the Elfnote Synchros convert that into center-zone boards with 3000+ ATK. Offsetting this, the list is only 29% exact-name Elfnote (the rest is generic, Yummy and tech), 11 main-deck cards are single copies, there is no side deck, and there is no recorded combo or win-rate data, so the floor and median are inferred from text. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype-usage stats confirm the list is a real, accessible build, but they were not counted as power, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 64.5, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: hand-trap density and going-second coverage (2); single-point Extra Deck dependency (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 0.80*64.5 + 0.20*58 = 63.2, rounded to 63

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Three 3-copy Elfnote starters plus searcher text give high going-first access
• 15 hand traps give strong going-second interaction
• Synchro board (June Pride, Seraphim, Baronne) is center-zone and high-ATK

Weaknesses

• No side deck in Master Duel, so matchup adjustment is main-deck only
• 11 single-copy main cards and 29% exact archetype purity lower consistency
• No recorded combos or win-rate data; floor and median are text-only

Critical choke points

• Center Main Monster Zone: most Elfnote effects require a monster there, and hand-trap answers can remove it
• Single-copy Synchro bosses (June Pride, Seraphim Strelitzia) are the main closing lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; all copy limits satisfied; Card text and stats for every listed card; Archetype-usage statistics show a real, accessible build
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, searcher and hand-trap estimates; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions; Center-zone interaction as the main choke point
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (tournament_context unavailable)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck flags are inconsistent with the cards list: Elfnote June Pride, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia and Baronne de Fleur are listed as missing_core but appear in cards (zone extra); the core-presence count (41.7%) is therefore unreliable and was not used
